Shield of Faith

Ephesians 6:16
"Above all, taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."

The shield of faith is a vital part of the Christian's armor. We are to put on the "whole armor of God, because as Christians our lives will be a warfare, a spiritual conflict. Paul names the different parts of the Christian's armor, he lists the shield of faith and emphasizes its importance by saying, "Above all, taking the shield of faith..." for with the shield of faith, nothing can hurt us; we are more than conquerors through Him. We can do nothing without the shield of faith.
